The beautiful mountain wildflowers that grace our mountain meadows, trails and roadsides are one of the many reasons we enjoy living in Summit County, Unfortunately, some of these beauties are considered invasive and/or noxious weeds by the State and Summit County and we have some of them right here in Silver Shekel.

The large expanses of white daisies we see around the neighborhood are most likely invasive False Chamomile or Salsify. Oxeye Daisies, Canadian Thistle, Musk Thistle, Common Tansy and Yellow Toadflax are also found here.

The Silver Shekel Owners Association urges all owners and residents to take the time to get rid of these plants that are on your properties, and do it before they go to seed. For most, the best way is by pulling or digging, bagging and disposing of them in the trash.
